geld

I see that Lidl have another running "sale" starting on 09/07/12.

Always good value to be had on the clothing side of things.

They have under garment stuff on sale now apparently. I haven't seen it but one of the lads got a good bit yesterday. He says it's great.

Would anyone trust the Lidl runners?

they might be ok for a certain type of runner if they suit but if you're going to be running a lot I'd invest in something more specific to your needs. running shoes preference and needs vary a lot from person to person, unlike say running socks running shoes needs are unlikely to be satisfied by a choice of one model. buy them and try them on and return them if you don't like them maybe?

Been using them for the past year without any complaint, regular but not high mileage.

Sun Glasses are great value. I also bought a few pairs of shorts and some t-shirts last time out and happy with them.
The rest i will pass on.
Thanks for the heads up.

Fair enough. I think I might buy a pair just to wear off road when running in the Phoenix Park. I hate using the ones I buy in Amphibian King because they cost a fortune and I don't want to ruin them.

The sunglasses look great for a fiver.

I plan to stock up on those - left my last cheapie ones in Norway a few weeks ago and I kinda miss them :pac:

Have a reminder to pop into Lidl on Monday, will pick up a few pairs of shorts they look like good value, has anyone bought them in the past?, are they any good?, at €6.99 they can't be bad.

Not sure I'd try the runners, I'm a bit protective of my feet, think I've only just recovered from bad gear twenty years ago.

Alarm set for the morning. Hopefully this stuff is worth buying. I think I'll even try the runners.

How are the socks ? I need a new supply

I got the heart rate monitor for 14.99, worth a try for a while before splashing out!

Seem fine, a bit like the aldi ones which I got a couple of years ago and are still wearable. For €2.99 you won't go wrong;)

not a hope of me driving all the way there for a 15 euro watch...:)

reckon they were all gone, looked like the socks had been pretty well cleared out in castetroy as well, still got 3 pairs but was a lot less than i expected

I am not that impressed with the sunglasses. They seem much better for cycling than for running. They'll be bouncing all over the place when running.

In fairness, I think the sunglasses are superb. I have worn them in races and also had them sitting on my head and they have stayed in place perfectly.

Is it hard to change the lense on them? I got a pair and was looking at this and couldn't manage. Partly through fear of breaking them.

Is there a catch to doing it or way to do it?

Its probably very obvious or easy but I just couldn't see it!

wore the shorts for a run this morning, were fine but the lining is a bit coarse, don't think i'd fancy it for very long runs
